Hogwarts: Starting from Creating the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 134 Artel's Inference, Hunting Basilisks! (Subscription)

Prefect Gemma Farley's words choked the little snakes, and an emotion called panic slowly spread.

"Artel, what can you do?"

In the quiet Slytherin lounge, a voice caught everyone's attention.

Pansy Parkinson found that everyone was looking at her, her cheeks became flushed, she lowered her head and said in a low voice:

"After all... After all, Artel guessed it yesterday... The secret room was opened... I think he might have some ideas."

"There is indeed a way. According to the introduction of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the only thing that basilisks are afraid of is the crowing of roosters... They will run away involuntarily when they hear the crowing of the attack..."

Artel looked at these little snakes calmly, and said slowly:

"So if you are afraid of being attacked by a basilisk, you only need to prepare an attack... As for finding it, I don't have any good ideas for now, but since the legend of the secret room is true..."

"Then I think, Salazar Slytherin must have left a message at Hogwarts that his heir can understand, so as to ensure that his heir finds the secret room and learns how to control the basilisk."

"So... to find the basilisk, perhaps we should start with Slytherin's relics, the room related to him... or this Slytherin lounge.""

Artel made his guesses out.

The little wizards looked at Artel in surprise, and finally let out a wow of admiration.

Gemma Farley thought about it, and felt that what Artel said was very reasonable. He stood up and decided to go out to Snape.

Because before Snape left, he said that if anyone found anything, they could go to the principal's office to find him...

"I think Artel is right, so let's start with the lounge and everyone's bedroom... If we can find relevant clues as soon as possible, Hogwarts can return to normal sooner. 99

Gemma said to all the little wizards.

In fact, the little snakes in Slytherin didn't care if someone else died, they were more worried about themselves.

Slytherins are not all pure-blooded wizards, just like Hagrid said, after so long of reproduction and development. There are very few pure-blooded wizarding families.

Just relying on the words of the Holy Twenty-Eight Families, Slytherin is probably long gone.

Therefore, many snakes are still very worried about their own safety, and also, although the legend shows that the basilisk will only attack people who Slytherin thinks are not worthy of learning magic, but it does not seem to be the case now...

Because the ghost has also been attacked, the bloody Barrow... he is still the ghost of Slytherin.

In short, the little wizards acted.

They rummaged in the lounge, not missing any corner.

Gemma went to Professor Snape, who used Transfiguration to turn his owl into a rooster, and then ran all the way to the principal's office with the big rooster.

At this time, Dumbledore had returned to school, and (cgeb) was discussing countermeasures with Snape at this time. Like Artel's idea, Dumbledore also mentioned the basilisk's natural enemy.

"The basilisk fears the crowing of the rooster... the vile Hierpo, the dark wizard who first bred the basilisk... This is mentioned in his notes, but there is no actual proof.

"Newt wrote about it in his book, but he hasn't seen a basilisk, so it's just a guess.39

"But even if that's the case, it's worth a try, Harry is a Parseltongue and he hears voices in the walls, then we're basically sure that what Salazar Slytherin left behind was a snake Strange…"

Just as they were talking, there was a rapid knock on the door, and Dumbledore and Snape's hearts sank subconsciously.

Because they were afraid that something would happen again.

"Jama? What are you doing here? Is there any clue?

Snape's expression was a little strange when he saw Gemma holding a big cock. Are there any other little wizards who knew the weakness of the basilisk?

"It's like this, Dean, Principal... Artel from our college just now..."

Gemma Farley repeated Artel's words, and Dumbledore and Snape glanced at each other, both of whom felt that Artel was right.

Slytherin may have left some clues, otherwise, how will his heir tell the truth from the false? How to find the secret room?

"Jama, you go back first, if you find anything in the lounge, remember to tell us as soon as possible..."

Dumbledore thought for a while, and asked Gemma to leave first, and he had to arrange magic props with Snape.

In the evening, the little wizards were informed that they could go to the auditorium to eat normally in the evening.

Slytherin's little wizard turned the lounge upside down and found no useful clues, much to their disappointment.

However, the professors have arranged magic enchantments and corresponding magic props all over the castle. Once they sense the presence of basilisks, the enchantment will issue an early warning, and the magic props will make a rooster crowing.

The little wizards actually have no appetite for dinner, and they are all exchanging information with each other.

After a round of discussion, the little wizards found that none of the academy students had an accident, but after careful investigation, someone finally found out that Filch was missing.

Mr. Argus Filch, the Squib-keeper who always likes to observe students secretly in the dark and take pleasure in torturing and punishing them, has disappeared.

The news quickly spread throughout the Great Hall.

"I heard, it's Filch! Filch is gone! No one saw him today!

In the dining area of ​​Gryffindor, the Weasley twins ran back from Ravenclaw excitedly and told everyone the information they got.

"Really? Filch?""

Ron was stunned, he never thought it would be Filch, Filch's cat just had an accident yesterday, and today it was his turn.

Harry also felt a little weird, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

It seemed that no little wizard would feel sorry for Filch, he was a grumpy, nasty man, and the little wizards didn't like him.

But the thought of never seeing Filch again made Harry feel panicked.

"It's pathetic...I didn't think it was Filch.

The kind-hearted Hermione also sighed, she sighed, looked at Artel, and said softly:

"My affair with Lavender won't cause you any trouble, will it?"

Artel shook his head and said with a smile:

"How could it be? Speaking of which, I also want to thank you... After all, you not only quarreled with my roommates in front of so many people for me, but also interrupted Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore..."

Artel stared at Hermione, his eyes made Hermione feel a little hot on her cheeks, she smiled embarrassedly, glanced at Harry who was discussing things with Ron, and whispered to Artel:

"I don't know what happened at the time... I felt very uncomfortable when Headmaster Dumbledore praised Harry that he had discovered the Basilisk... Obviously you said it first..."

"Never mind that. 35

Artel scratched Hermione's nose and said seriously:

"But I'm still very happy that you protect me like this..."

"It's a pity that Lavender didn't come to the auditorium, hum, I know she did it on purpose, I don't believe she'll never come!

Hermione turned her head in embarrassment and snorted softly.

In the evening Lavender said that she was not feeling well and stayed in the dormitory and didn't come out, of course, as everyone knows, she just didn't want to apologize to Hermione and Artel.

After dinner, the little wizards could not stay in the auditorium for too long, and at Dumbledore's request, they were led back to their respective lounges by the prefect.

After all the little wizards had left, Dumbledore called Snape and Professor McGonagall.

"At night, pay more attention to the movement of the castle, I am going to the old Gaunt house... Artel is right, there must be something left in Slytherin, so his heir will know how to open the secret room."

"However, it is very likely that the thing was taken... If it was made by Voldemort fifty years ago... then it is very likely that this thing is in the old Gaunt house."

After admonishing Snape and Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore left the castle.

At this moment, Artel lying on the bed was observing Dumbledore with the Isil spar, and seeing Dumbledore leave, Artel's eyes lit up.

"Tonight...it's time to hunt the Basilisk!"
